How have they changed? I noticed that I do not have as much gas as I used to but I used to be extremely regular in the bathroom. Now it's every few days. Am I missing something from my diet? I meet my fiber requirement.

    I have reduced to about twice a week, but am not feeling constipated or feel like I strain when I do go. We are no longer eating grains and processed crap, consequently there is a big reduction in undigested bulk and so we do not need to go as often.
  • That's what I figured. It's like breastfed babies. Not much waste to poop out.

    Much less gassy and about 3 times / week.
    I don't feel constipated, I just don't go as much. :-)

    I think my gas comes from other stuff I eat... cabbage..... maybe dairy. ...
    But I go 2x a day somedays...
    but most certainly EVERYDAY.
    I have had times of constipation... but rare. Mostly its soft.... normal.
    I know SO VERY TMI.
    OVERLOAD.
